This is part of WHY I run Windows Server 2003, in its default LIGHT workstation mode install...

It truly IS more secure than previous models of NT-based OS, & generally has fewer monthly weakness' found in it than say, XP or 2000... & is the best featureset of both imo.

It is, afaik, the BASE CODE for VISTA as well, & was selected thus over the codebase for 2000/XP!

IE 6.x is the key on this one though - by default on Windows 2003 it installs a "super-secure" mode where you don't run ActiveX/Java/Javascript or allow it by default on every site you visit, etc... because I'd wager IF you install the XML extensions noted & 'relax' the security settings?
